ruby bridges

the little girl who wanted to go to school

Ruby Bridges was born September 8,1954 at Tylertown,Mississippi.

She had to be escorted by her mother and US marshals to class because of all violence.

At the age of 6 years old Ruby went to an all white school.

The white parents did not want their kids going to school with a black kid so they turned violent.

She stood brave even when grown adults were calling her name and tell her that she did not belong in the world.

She helped get kids her age to go to school with whites/blacks and they would not fight.
